    The PNW event is this weekend. I have an opportunity to go. $40 a ticket. :eek:

    That's a little high to go "shopping". :rolleyes:

    Why did you, or didn't you, go?

    On the other hand I am considering getting some drawers for the bed. Might be a good place to see several vendors products.

    Temps forcast for the low 90s :tumbleweed:

    Not everyone is a vendor. Some just want to show off their knowledge.

    If $40 gets you in to listen to people who love an audience to speak on their decades of experience and you are serious about learning if you even want to "go there" ... there are probably worse ways to spend the weekend.

    I'm sure you spent a lot more than $40 on less interesting things..

    If I was closer to one and had the time, $40 doesn't sound bad at all.

    I know a guy who attends just about every regional Overland Expo across the US. But he also does a lot of social media as a side hustle and does make money from it.

    I hate to be the one to tell ya, but if $40 for a ticket is pricey, you're gonna shit a brick when you see the price of overland stamped bed drawers :anonymous::spending:

    So I didn't go. Helped my cousin fix and put back together his 4 wheeler ATV. Surprisingly, it runs! :eek::thumbsup:

    Anybody go?
